Those Mario Kart Races Are Coming To Sydney In September

If you've looked at Melbourne with jealousy because they get to dress up like Mario and Luigi and zip around a track in some go-karts for a while, don't stress Sydney - your turn is coming.

Pre-release tickets for Mushroom Racing in Sydney went live this morning, with available dates at this stage on September 16/30, October 14, November 4 and 11. A single ticket will cost you just over $100, and the whole experience includes up to 20 laps.

You'll be picked up from Sydney CBD if you do choose to go, with tickets including costume hire, games room activities "and more". It'll be on a customised go-kart track, although the location is unknown at the time of writing.

For more information - and to grab some tickets for the Melbourne races, if you're interested - head to the official Mushroom Racing website.

In the wake of community and political pressure following the livestreaming of the horrific terrorist attacks at Christchurch on Friday, Australian ISPs have started blocking some sites used to rehost footage of the livestream, including the infamous 8chan image board.
